Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Tuesday Tutorial - Diamond Effects

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using an older die that is now retired from the Spellbinders website but it may be one that you have  in your "Stash"  It is one that I bring out from time to time and this is a really simple card to complete.
Spellbinders Supplies:
Other Supplies:
With #7 from Matting basics A cut two piece in white and create a hinged card
With #7 from Matting Baiscs B cut one layer in pink
With #6 from Matting Basics A cut another white panel and emboss with any folder that you have
Add this flat to the pink layer with glue
(Please remember that die #1 is always the smallest)
Using dies #3 and #4 together,  to create the frame,  cut out one piece in white.
Spray it with adhesives and add the glitter to the panel for sparkle
Stamp the sentiment onto some white card and heat emboss in silver 
Die cut with the banner die from the set and add foam tape to the back of it.
Add the pink and white embossed layer to the base card 
Add the glittered frame to some pink patterned paper of your choice
add these to the embossed panel with foam pafds in between
Add the sentiment banner where you would like it to be
Position the bow in the top left corner and glue the floral arrangement in the bottom right to balance the card

Pretty card for you to give for any occasion.

More tomorrow...

Hugs xx

  19. Hi Christina,
    The great dies always seem to get retired don't they but I'm sure we can all find something that would work instead :). I love the ribbon on the top and the flowers on the bottom on this one. Another beautiful card and great step by step instructions as always.

  20. Lovely card! That's a SB die that I never tire of, but I've never used both pieces together to get the diamond pattern on the inside of the frame. That's a very pretty effect that I need to try now!
